OH, but it might. You never know. One can hope. I mean, eventually management will change like it always has, and perhaps new blood in the company will recognize the mistakes of the past and seek to undo them. And sometimes it is helpful to vent a bit.

So, 7 days. Not really stopping piracy at all. Just hurting the honest customers. "That's real good customer service/pr work there Lou!"

The notion that evil characters/creatures can't fight other evil creatures is totally incorrect. Just because they're evil they're automatically going to get along and work together? A party of evil PC's can have exactly the same adventures as a group of unaligned PC's (let's be honest here...

Its interesting to note that the new Saga Edition Star Wars rulebook, that came out the same day, popped up within 24 hours, both a basic scan and an optimized one with bookmarks. Obviously it can be done in a short period of time, but I suppose its a matter of interest by those that do the...

Yep, nothing is good aligned now. Not even the stuff that fights evil. Like the Coatl. Although they seem to expect PC's to be of Lawful Good or Good alignment, but they want you to fight and kill everything and take its stuff. And they want you to play formerly evil races like Tieflings...

Oh, I wish the Erinyes were closer to the original myth. I don't really think they need to be tempters of mortals. But the new version isn't closer to the original myth either. They're not exclusively female, nor are they the personification of vengeance or anger. In other words, they might as...

There does seem to be a "tad" bit more fluff, but not a whole lot. I think they're trying to take some of the criticism to heart and make some positive changes. But I do have one complaint I have to mention: Erinyes. We were told that there didn't need to be 2 different female fiends that...

I think there needs to be a tad more fluff, just to provide a bit more structure/basis for some monsters and why/how they do what they do. For example, look at the entry for the Ghoul in the 4E MM. They immobilize. One of their chief tactics is to immobilize as many foes as possible. But...

This. That's what I'm doing in my campaign. Items with the +'s scale with the level of the character using them. That way magic weapons, armor, etc don't become disposable tools to be discarded or sold off every few levels. Now players can have signature items they keep throughout their whole...

I'll be buying just so I can finish off most of the classics that were missing from MMI. After that though I'm probably done with MM's. The ease of statting creatures based on their level and role makes multiple Monster books less necessary. Especially with the fluff cut-out. I've got 30 years...

I say 4-5 days. There will be more demand for this book and I think there will be a rush among the pirates to outdo the time it took for Arcane Power.

Unfortunately most of the professional services that can recover info from a crashed hard drive are VERY expensive.

Thankfully I avoid this issue by not using the CB. I like alot of 3rd party material, and I use a lot of house rules, thus the CB is not of much use to me. Pencil/Pen and paper still work just fine, and my brain appreciates the exercise!

I have an honest question for you, no snark or ill-will intended: What do you guys at WoTC think of that mini? I mean, did you guys look at the finished mini and like it? I guess I just have a hard time believing that you guys aren't just as disappointed at how some of those come out as we...

I predicted a few months back that we'd start seeing polls this summer. I have a feeling we'll be seeing quite a few more as time goes by. Hopefully they will do some about the minis.

Yeah, its kind of annoying...even if I don't always like the iconic look they try to establish in the MM's, I wish they'd at least stick to them. That should be part of their quest to control their IP.

Are you farkin kidding me? THAT is the best they could do for Vecna? Yeesh. I mean, even if you had a slightly better sculpt and rocking paint job...why the belly dancer pose? sorry, but that doesn't scream: OMG! VECNA! That mini is going to get laughed off of many tables. The rest? Meh. I...

It's like Napolean Dynamite and Dwight Shrute had a love child.

You can also view the beast companion as a mobile weapon, though they don't do as much damage as you potentially can. My wife's been trying to play one in a game we're in, and she's not been real happy with it so far. She was used to 3E's way, and can't seem to get past the idea that she no...

That's funny! I use the SW Vong minis as Foulspawn!
